Safety, trust & environment

I value patient care and pet care in the highest regard. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and offer the gold standard of care.

Information Kathlean O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what special requests and any information I need to know ahead of time. I am more than willing to work with fearful patients, but please let me know in advance. If possible, meet and greets are great beforehand!

A typical day

I will do nearly anything you ask of me. If your pet needs time to play, I will play. If we need monitored treat puzzle time, I will gladly sit with your baby. I love one on one time with pets. If they need long walks, I will happily accommodate. If the pet needs work on training, I can help with this too. I only work with positive reinforcement methods. I am Veterinary CPR Certified, Fear Free Certified, and have taken some dog training courses. I will treat your babies as if they are my own. I can work with reactive dogs. I am able to attempt to perform nail trims if the pet will let me. I can administer medications, oral and injectable. I am able to assist with special needs pets. I have 9+ years of Veterinary Assisting in General Practice, Surgery, Emergency, and Critical Care Medicine. I can decipher what is a true emergency. I have strong communication skills and will communicate everything with you.

Katie was great with our 2 cats. Our 1 cat has asthma and needed his inhaler and oral medication administered twice a day while we were gone. She was able to easily help with this due to her years working as a vet assistant. She was responsive, sent great photos and updates on the cats and will be hiring her again for future trips.

Katie is a colleague and friend. She is medically trained as a Veterinary Assisitant, with experience in emergency and critical care. She is responsible and trustworthy. She will care for your pets with kindness and compassion. I highly recommend Katie.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
